Hugging and Chalking

This blog is about obesity and the inanity/insanity it spawns, the encroaching lawsuits and growing diet industry. Obesity is a matter of genes and personal responsibility. You can have an endocrine problem, or you can have a balance problem (too many calories and too little exercise). It’s not where you eat, but how much you eat; it’s not McDonald’s fault, or Mama’s fault, or Washington’s fault if your body is too fat or too thin. Rosabelle.

Overeaters Anonymous

It's not for everyone, but works for some. This comment was left at The Atkins Avenger at a post about OA:

"I have been going to OA for a number of years in Australia. I feel loved and supported in my group, but just as importantly challenged. My disease of overeating is about dishonesty - for years I thought I got fat even though I didn't eat very much. I truly believed that. It was OA that helped me to chip away at that self-deceit and see how much food I was putting in my mouth.

I hope you can find what I have found - a new way to live. I now eat three times a day, a miracle for someone who spent 35 years grazing all day. And I have found something else between those 3 meals - life.

Keep going back. It has worked for me."
